Re: 17 Days to go ...

The quarter century mark...cool. Happy Birthday, early. In my humble opinion you should spend the next 17 days parting your socks off. It happens only once and then you start on the half century.When I hit mine, I'm gonna party for a month before it arrives.:)

Well, I already had some kind of birthday party - although it was neither supposed to be one nor did the folks on it know about that upcoming date ... but I'm still cleaning up my mother's house - good luck for me she aint be here till 10th of this month :D

Re: 17 Days to go ...

Happy fucking birthday! I am serious. That means you'll be 24 on the 18th, right? I was checking my 'Lemony Snicket' calendar - the one the love of my life gave me because he still loves me even though he spent two years with me while I was the most bitter human imaginable - and that day has nothing momentous on it... but it IS your birthday, I believe, and that makes it a good day, 'cause for one thing, I'm beginning to understand you a little better, and I'll be wishing you a 'Happy Birthday' on that day.

It's nice to meet a fellow Libra, although I'm not sure if you put any store by all that horoscope stuff. My birthday is on the 28th of this month. It's on the full moon to be exact. Spooky! (Not really)

Anyhoo (colloqial term my mother used to use, may her soul rest in peace- or was that 'piece' -- just kidding, man, hey, I'm a smart-ass sometimes myself)

Life is sooooooo short, man. It sucks being pissed off at the world, I know I've tried it. I'm not afraid to say what I feel, it's just that most of the time I don't feel like being miserable.

I've read a lot about your personal miseries on the NAO lately, and I do understand what you are saying. Okay, the German was a little difficult, I'll admit. I speak a little Danish, which is a somewhat gutteral language itself, very similar, and yet, because it is not the same, I had to ask a friend of mine to translate... and then I read #12484 and the bit where null translates some of your German, you know...

So, you feel made fun of, disrespected, and censored... thanks for making me work a little harder to find that out. Incidentally, I get the impression that you feel some posts are a bit too sappy, but then they are just not to your liking are they? Does that really warrant coming down hard on people in such a way that your words can end up making them feel like total shit?

I don't really like peppering my speech with 'expletives', but I fear that if I don't you won't realize that I'm not a sissy... but I am vulnerable. You can hurt me. So here's my throat, ready for you to slice n' dice... I hope you don't.

I do agree, after all the reading I've done that 'the ratings thing' can be bogus at times, but if you wanted to create another personna to 'sling your hash', then I'm onto you buddy.

Who knows, maybe you wanted it that way. Some kind of test to see if people were paying attention. Well, I am. I heard you loud and clear. Hey, we all gotta snark about stuff once in a while, don't we? See the post pertaining to this subject: #12467.

So, the upshot of all of this is that I'm not going to give you any platitudes. I'm sure you heard them all. But hear something else. Loud and clear. With gusto. With feeling.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. ;0 - seriously, jael was sending me the info on what these little symbols mean, and I'm a dork, I lost it... so, my fingers just accidentally slipped and typed this ;0, which I have no idea as to the meaning of it. I meant to type this :) ... but I thought I'd leave the other one there. Since we all make mistakes, and sometimes it isn't necessary to clean up after them, just to move on.

Seriously...

Happy Birthday to you.

Re: 17 Days to go ...

An easily made mistake - no, it's on the 17th. Today, it's only 9 days to go - see, I'm adding today to the value, and didnt mention it anywhere. So, once again, an easily made mistake , but apologize-able one ;)

About the 'goodbye NAO - oh and fuck-off all of you!'-story waaay back (about 1 1/2 years or so) I like to let the matter rest (in piece) by now. See the other reply I wrote before.
